Sheena has two BEAUTIFUL baby girls – and needed some BEAUTIFUL family pictures to hang in her home!

OH MY DEAR HEART! SHE IS SUCH A SWEET THING!

AND THIS SWEET GIRL!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!

I have to warn you – there are LOTS of pictures in this post – I just could NOT pick!

Sheena is a LuLaRoe consultant! Make sure to join her group on FB to check out her AWESOME inventory!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot on the right! MY FAVORITE!

That baby bear – she wanted to ESCAPE!

I CAN’T! SO CUTE!

OH MY HEART!

I LOVE THAT ONE – the real moments – the ones you forget about!

Don’t let her fool you – she was really working to get that little foot out!

Sheena – I had such a GREAT time with you and your girls! I can’t wait to do it again!

Angie lives in the mid-west – but her mom bought her a gift certificate for Christmas – FOR A PHOTO SESSION!

The BEST present EVER!

She was home visiting her family – and we snuck in a session with her sweet guys!

ISN’T HE A CUTIE!

OH MY!

I LOVE that last shot! Something about a daddy holding his baby!

Bare piggies!

Angie – thank you SO MUCH for coming over with your guys! I can’t WAIT to see you again!

Carie messaged me – with a SURPRISE request!

IT’S A BOY!

Isn’t she a DOLL!

OH MY HEART!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THAT LAST SHOT!

SO SWEET!

I CANNOT EVEN DEAL! I LOVE those shots!

Carie & Michael – I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOUR FAMILY! I cannot WAIT to see you this fall!

You know what I love about living here – in this part of the country? We get to experience each of the 4 seasons.

Especially in the spring and fall – you might experience all 4 seasons over the course of ONE WEEK!

This was one of those weeks – in February if I remember right!

This guy! He is such a joyful soul! We were kinda concerned about that tooth – his left front tooth was lost with the right – but took MONTHS to come in!

I absolutely LOVE watching the relationship between brothers! Enoch said – Hey Fitzy – you’re my brother. We are buddies!

Every year – Jared’s mom LOVES to hide eggs for the boys – and I mean REALLY HIDE EGGS!

Fitzy is NOT a fan of the whole – running in a field with eggs OUT IN THE OPEN!

I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now – but we live next door to my in-laws – and the boys LOVE it! I do too!

I am SO VERY THANKFUL for this little family of ours!

Fitzy and Enoch took the Easter season quite seriously! Fitzy had Good Friday off school – and after Jared left for work – he said – SO MOM. Today is the day Jesus died. Right? And we don’t go to church today? Dad just goes to work like it’s ANOTHER ORDINARY DAY? WHAT ON EARTH!

Certainly a convicting moment!

I CANNOT believe it’s been a YEAR since this little girl was born!

BUT FIRST – the brothers!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT SHOT! Perfectly real-life!

OH MY WORD!

That brother of hers – he is SO excited about ALL THE THINGS! His excitement is contagious!

TIME FOR CAKE!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that little hand sneaking in to grab some icing!

SHE LOVED IT!

*N* had to show me his collection of GOLD! He caught a leprechaun – but it escaped!

And giants! ALL THE GIANTS! ALL THE BEANSTALKS!

When I got home and picked out my favorites – I realized that I didn’t have too many – hardly a handful of little *C* alone!

And it was HER birthday session after all!

SO – I met up with her a week later!

LOOK AT THOSE EYES!

And because life with a BRAND NEW ONE-YEAR OLD – is LIFE ON THE RUN!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to capture your first year as a family of FIVE!

I hope to see you all again soon!

I HAVE to get my camera out more often – and take pictures of my own kiddos!

OH MY WORD! I LOVE THAT LAST SHOT! E adores my dad – and I hope he cherishes this picture as he grows up!

Patiently – maybe not so patiently – waiting to go see the COWS!

We only live about 45 minutes from my parents – AND I WOULDN’T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY! Except for maybe closer – but my parents would be thoroughly EXHAUSTED all the time from keeping up with these kiddos!

My sister and her family came home in March!

We … well – SHE – held an open house for her LuLaRoe! It was SO FUN!

We have an AMAZING group of people that love us and support us! I am SO grateful for the people in our lives!

I didn’t bring my camera to the event – but I did capture the boys. The cousins. The family!

LOOK AT THAT ADORABLE FACE!

THAT SWEET FACE!

You can’t keep that farmer guy out of the barn – not even in the FRIGID wind!!

Enoch knows that GG will give him ALL the candies! So we made a trip next-door!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot!

You might not know this – but my sister and I love cheesy – super ugly clothes for our kids. My mom picks out the silliest things at yard sales – THANKFULLY we can share them – because Jack gets them after Enoch – but I’m not sure how long that will happen since these boys are getting SO BIG AND TALL AND STRONG!

Fitzy and Jack have a super special bond! Fitzy actually tells people that he’s my first-born and Samm’s first-born – he doesn’t know how it works – it just does. And he knows that he loves her just as much as he loves me. He makes wishes that he could live with Sammy forever – and he’s done it ever since he was a little guy!

And this guy – CAN ALMOST REACH THE LOCK! WHAT ON EARTH!

OH MY HEART!

Xavier cooks with Jack on his shoulders! That’s some talent!

I’m so happy that I was able to capture these photos for my sister!

OH MY WORD! THOSE CHEEKS!

OH MY HEART! THOSE PHOTOS!

These little boys will be big before we know it! I never imagined that my sister and I would raise our kids in different states – in my imagination – we were ALWAYS together! But – thanks to FACETIME – we spend time together daily!

I had told Ericka to remind me to come down for her newborn pictures – and then life happened.

I texted her when I had nothing to do one afternoon – not long after *R* was born. I asked if I could come down to take her photos – like now.

And she said. YES. I love these friends!

So – I dropped the boys off at Mom-Mom and Bacca’s (grandma and grandpa – who happen to live next door) and drove the not-even 3 miles it takes to see this sweet baby!

OH LITTLE BABY!

SWEET SWEET SISTERS!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that last shot!

*J* was NOT loving the smell of that diaper! I LOVE THAT ONE!

She was such a good little model!

I absolutely ADORE that last shot – and the next ones!

MY FAVORITE!!

THAT SWEET FACE!

I LOVE THOSE ONES! Such sweet little sisters!

Ericka – YOU ARE AMAZING!

My friend Ericka – she’s a ROCKSTAR of a momma! She asked if I would photograph the birth of her second sweet baby – OF COURSE!

We had this crazy idea that she wouldn’t make it to her due date – April 4th. On April 3rd – she came over for dinner with her older daughter. We ate and laughed and watched that little baby move around. And then. She said – I think maybe I’m leaking? Maybe. I’m just not sure!

It’s absolutely crazy to me that each birth can be so different and we can forget exactly what happens each time!

So – she texted me around 10 that night and said – she was going to the hospital. And OH! Her water was breaking – so be on baby watch!

I took my phone to bed with me and went to sleep. And waited.

Around 4 AM I got a text saying that she was progressing! So – I figured I would go over and HOPE for a baby before morning when Jared had to go to work! I ate breakfast in quiet. Got a shower real quick without checking on kiddos. And left my driveway at 4:30 – getting a text from her saying she was 5 cm. I made it to Wellsboro – about 20 minutes away – and parked at the ER – got my bags – and went to the desk. Where she told me that I had to go back OUT to the car and drive AROUND the building and go in the back entrance and ask to be let in. ARGH! SERIOUSLY!

So – I got in the room – at 4:51 and that sweet baby was born at 4:49 – YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

I was so sad. And mad. And then sad again.

BUT – a baby was already born and she was beautiful!

So I took some pictures!

THAT LITTLE FACE! I can’t even deal with her!

AND – she was born on her due date!

Little *R* – you are loved. You are wanted. You were prayed for. You will do wonderful things.

Ericka – YOU are strong. YOU are beautiful. YOU are brave. I LOVE you dear friend!
